What a time for you and I.

"Babe come on. Traffic's gonna be pretty heavy. And we've still gotta pick up Nay and your gr—."
"I knowwww. Now quit rushing me would you?"
"I'm not rushing you, but you're still not dressed yet at it's almost six. What do you want me to say? Take your time?"
"No, I want you to say nothing. I'll be ready when I'm ready, k?" She heads back towards the bathroom, and Calum runs a hand down his face. He has to remember what Dr. Hansen had said:
Be patient, sometimes the mood swings will come out of nowhere, son.
"You're gonna drive me nuts I swear." He mumbles to himself.
"What was that?"
And he wonders if he really was in the mood to argue with her. He sighs. "Nothing."
"Oh okay." She says sassily, and his tongue goes to his cheek.
He stalks towards the bathroom; looking at her in the mirror. "You know you're being ridiculous right?" She doesn't respond. "Why are you even mad at me?" Silence. "I'm only trying to get us there on time. What's the matter?"
"You're the matter."
He doesn't know why that makes him laugh. "I'm the matter huh?"
"That's what I just said." She puts her earrings on. And he only watches her; a teasing smile on his face. "What?"
"Nothing, just admiring my beautiful girlfriend." He walks closer to her. "Can I do that? Admire you?"
"Do what you want Calum." She says dismissively.
"Okay." He moves some of her hair to kiss her shoulder. And though that's not what she meant, she doesn't exactly stop him. "I love you, even if you're mad at me for no reason. You know that?"
"Yup."
"You sure you know?" He wraps his arms around her waist, kissing her cheek.
And she turns around in a huff. "I don't like you right now."
"I'm aware."
"You get on my nerves."
"Yeah well, you get on mines too." He smiles, pulling the girl closer before pressing his lips onto hers: her hands automatically going from his neck to his hair. "Hey, I spent ten minutes fixing that."
"Just...Shush."
"Yes ma'am."

"Hope you're all having a great time. Sorry to interrupt you guys filling your stomachs and everything but I just wanted to thank you all for coming to our gender reveal. I wanna start off by saying that everyone who's wearing pink, you're the best. Everyone in blue, you're fake." Audra says, making them laugh. It seemed like more persons were in Team Boy shirts. "Like I can't believe that so much if you let Calum brainwash you."
"I would like to defend my honor and say that this was a decision of my own," Ashton interjects.
"Whatever, you're still fake though." She jokes. "But regardless of what side you are on tonight, Cal and I are super grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the life of our baby with all of you. Literally, you could've been anywhere else. But you're here. Also, a special thanks to Sierra and Luke for planning all of this because God knows I wasn't going to... I love each and every one of you. So...cheers." She raises her lemonade.
